Could Lay Slate-Pencil in One
Hands in Dreadful State-Disease
Defied Remedies and Pre
icriptions Suffered Seven Years.
FOUND A PERMANENT
CURE IN CUTICURA
"I had eczema on my hand for about
MYn years and during that time I had
uaea several o-canea
remedies, together with
physicians' and drug-
lst' prescriptions. The
incase was so bad on
mv bands that I could
lay a slate-pencil In one
of the cracks and a rule
Disced across the hand
would not touch the
pencil. I used ,
, OKin LiOUOD.
Itemed v and
nthpm externally but I
did not use any internal remedy, and
while some gave partial relief, none re
lieved as much as did the flint box or
Cuticura Ointment. I made a purchase
of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and
my hands were perfectly cured after two
boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one
cake of soap were used. I now keep
them on hand for sunburn, etc.. and use
Cuticura Soap for shaving. 1 could write
a great dt-al more in reference to my
cure but do not want to take more of
your time. William H. Dean, Newark,
Del., Mar. 28, 1U07."
CHILD 5UFFERED
With Sorts on Legs. Cured la
Two Weeks by Cuticura.
"My little daughter suffered with
ores on her leg all hutt summer. Her
feet were son, too, and she couldnt
wear her shoes. I think she was poisoned
by running through weeds but the doc
tor said it was eczema. I tried several
remedies but failed to find a cure. Then
I sent for Cuticura Boap and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her in two weeks.
I find Cuticura the beet I ever tried for
any kind of sore and I hope I shall never
be without It. Mrs. Gertie Laughlln.
Ivydale, W. Va., Apr. 25, 1907."

PAY FEES EON LANDS
THEY WILL NOT GET
Uiili CXwnty Seem to Have Greatest
Number of SuffcivrH Uiwcrupiilous
Locutors Given Veen for Show
In C'lulms to Settlor No Priority
ItlKliW to Railroad Lund.
Reports from the department of
Justice and interior to the effect that
applicants for the unsold grant lands
of the Oregon & California railroad
will have no priority of right over
other applicants has brought conster
nation Into the hearts of a host of
claimants who rushed onto these
lands and paid high sums to unscrup
ulous locators.
In Linn county alone possibly 60,-
00 acres of these lands have been filed
on and applied for and the tender
made to the railroad company offices
at San Francisco. Fees ranging from
$15 to $50 have been paid for this
privilege, and the parties locating the
Beckers after timber lands assured
them that they would have a priority
of right and have the first undisputed
claim to the lands In question should
the government succeed In their ef
forts to declare the lands forfeit.
When the matter was first made
pulillc the rush for these claims was
akin to madness, and parties well
versed in the subject declared that
not one of them could possibly ac
quire any prior right to the lands In
question.
The madness for timber lands
reached such a height that hundreds
of local parties and from elsewhere
were Induced to pay large sums Into
the hands of locators, whose only mo
tlve was gain, with no thought that
the parties so located would ever be
able to realize on the lands In ques
tion.
A most elaborate program was fol
lowed and If complying with all pos
sible legal requirements amounts to
anything the claimants for these lands
should receive consideration. The
plan was as follows:
First, the persons desiring to be lo
cated accepted the cruise of some lo
cator, and on, being acquainted with
the description of the lands made an
affidavit to the effect that they had
settled on these lands and were actual
residents and homeseekers.
This application was filed with the
county recorder and placed on record
together with a statement that the
tender had been made the railroad
compnny. Over 300 of these paper
have been recorded In the office of
the county recorder, and according to
the decision, they are not worth the
fee of recording.
In addition to the above many of
the claims have been duplicated and
even If the applicants should have an
oportunlty to purchase endless litlga
tlon would ensue. Many of the par
ties In applying for lands were In
duced to apply for lands In other
counties without any Idea of settle
ment or sincerity on -the part of the
would be possessor of these railroad
lands. In fact In many Instances the
affidavit reads that they are actual
settlers on the land applied for when
the citizens of the state know that
they are engaged In business and have
made no attempt to comply with the
laws relating to residence and settle
ment.
The whole matter Is decidedly com
plicated, and the ruling of the de
partment that these are of no coime
iiuence and worthless will bring some
Kider out of the chaos and save end'
less litigation and possible prosecu
tlon for false affidavits made by the
seeking purchaser.
The World's nc Climate
Is not entirely free' from disease, on
the high elevations fevers prevail,
while on the lower levels malaria Is
encountered to a greater or less ex
tent, according to altitude. To over
come climate affections, lassitude,

and ague, and general debility, the
most effective remedy Is Electric

'STRAWBERRY DAY" JUNE 4.
Milton Will Celebrate Annual Event
Next Month..
The Milton Eaule says of the cele
bration of "Strawberry Day" In that
town on June 4:
June 4 will be "Strawberry Day" In
Milton this vear. and the regularly
appointed committee should see that
It Is made a brilliant success. As
many non-residents as poslble should
be Induced to attend, as all Milton
needs Is to get people to come and
see, nrid the excellence of our pro
ducts will do the rest.
Already the berries are red on the
vines, some completely matured hav
ing been exhibited, and with a few
warm days an army of pickers will
be gathering the crop from 600 acres
In the Mllton-Freewater district, to
be shipped to people less favored by
the gods with soil and climate.
The strawberry season means busy
and prosperous times In Milton and
It Is proper that one day should be
devoted to a glorious celebration.
"Strawbery Day" In Milton this year
will be worth coming far to enjoy.
It's the Milton way.

Half Hie Coal Is Wasted.
Prof. J. A. Holmes of the United
States geological survey, declared that
under the present system 50 per cent
of the natural coal supply of " the
country Is wasted. A mine, he claims,
Is Invariably abandoned after the high
grade fuel is taken out, thus perma
nently preventing the extraction of
the low grade coal. As an example
of the heavy loss thus entailed, he
cited an Instance where only four feet
of a 21 foot vein was mined. The
consumption of high grade coal Is
enormous, the Pennsylvania road
alone using 40.000 tons dally for its
locomotives. That means that this one
railroad system consumes annually,
for motive power, 14,600,000 tons.
